A difficulty occurred on Sunday on
Fourth street, near tho Brown House,
between Henry Scrimshirc and Fred
Knight, in which the latter received a

not likely to greatly inconvcnionco the

The lirrst B astern.
The report has bcon put into circula
t ion, either by sorno uninformed or some
malicious person, that tho Great Eastern
circus had gone into winter quarters at
Nownnn. Wo had h ard tho report and
thought rather strange of it, as wo knew
the show was billed at Forsyth and down
tho Southwestern road as far as Eufaula.
Tho following dispatch from Mr. Haight,
tho proprietor of tho show, sets tho wholo
matter nt rest:

Staving Ills Corn.
A planter in an adjacent county, like
souio other planters wo liave heard of.
fouud himself somewhat embarrassed by
the operations of tho soasgigjihjI,
through a course of bankruptcy. Having
more corn on hand—of Iris own raising'
than ho cared to return os assets, lio bor
rowed a neighbor's crib and filled it from
his fields with n goodly store, which ho
did not want to pass through tho hank'
rnpt court. This wns nil very well; but,
unfortunately for the success of tho plan,
tho neighbor, whoso crib ho borrowed,
wss also behind-hnnd, and the officers of
tho law invaded his premises and levied
on everything in sight, including tho crib
of corn belonging to tho candidate for
discharge in bankruptcy.
Correction.
There were two errors in our notice of
Sunday morning of tho death of Judge
Peyton Reynolds. Wo stated that while
Mr. Bates was ill with small-pox, the
Judgo went frequently to the fence near
by to ask after him. This, we aro as
sured is incorrect, os tho Judgo used tho
greatest precaution and did not venture
near tho building where Mr. Bates was.
Again, the fact that the Judge was not
vaccinated did not arise from his lack of
faith in tho operation; but having but
ono arm with which to earn his support,
and being a man of rather frail health,
he declined vaccination.
We mabo these corrections not becauso
they can do any good now, hut simply
becauso our information led 113 intoorror.

Editors Telegraph mul Messengers I no
ticed in a recent copy of your paper that
"City Lawyer's" eld cow had died, and
that he was at present luxuriating on tho
superior (?) milk of a Hancock county
heifer. Every body— especially Talbot
county people—knows that the' old Ilriu-
dle was not "pixened,” but milked to
death. I don’t know anything about the
merits of Hancock county heifers, with or
without pedigrees, but this one seems to
thrive well ou the pens, cotton seed, etc.,
tho old cow loft behind. The wonder is,
whut manner of milk she will yield] after
the small reumantofold-'fashioned ,, feed”

"City Lawyer” had better plant a goo
ber in his back yard and join the Gran
gers on the merit of it. That's a Talbot
county heifer, however—she hasn’t any
pedigree either. Respectfully yours,

The County Court.
Business is beginiug to wake up again
in tho County Court, nr.d the chain gang
is likely to bo recruited to some consider
able extent. The following casco were
disposed of yesterday:
Valentine Hash, colored, charged with
battery upon his mother, was tried and
acquitted,
Peter Glover and Lonisa Gray, colored,
inhabitants of Rutland district, were
tried for n joint case of iatorlusivonoss*
Tho case was easily made out, and they
moved a suspension of judgment long
enough for them to get a license and
marry. The ceremony was performed in
court, and the ‘'happy couple” trudged
away bock to their "old cabin home.”
Frank Strong, tho negro who stole a
1>oi of tobacco from Messrs. Coleman k
Newsom last week, w:u, found guilty of
larceny from the house, lie begged so

months in tho chain gang.
were charged with fighting. The former
came up to answer but Knight did not.
After a hearing of the testimony Mr.
Serirashire’s case dismissed- The diffi-
etiHy which gave rise to this case is men
tioned elsewhere.
Probable Attempt at Suicide
It was reported in tho city yesterday
that a woman over in East Macon had
attempt. -1 to tako her own life by poison
on Sunday. Wo went over yesterday
morning and ascertained tho facts in tho
case to be abont as follows:
Tho woman was seen to fall in the
street nearly opposite to the store of Xel
son & Son, and parties who went to her
assistance found that she was very ill.
They thought nt first that sbo w.03 hav
ing fits. She was taken to the house
where sho bad been staying and Drs. Su
tlers and Mason called in. Upon examin
ation of tho ease they both agreed that
she was suffering from poison, as all her
symptoms indicated that sho had taken
strychnine. She retrained insensible
throughout the day and night, hut was
somo bettor yesterday morning, and it
was believed that she would recover.
Tho woman’s name is Mollie Waldrup,
and she is a widow, without children.
Her maiden name was More. She ap
pears to havo no relatives in Macon, and
has been supporting licrself by hiring ont
as a domestic. Lai terly sho has been oat
of work and apparently in great trouble
thereat. Sho is known to the people of
East Macon as a very steady and indus
trious woman. One lady with whom sho
had lived for some months spoke very
highly of her os a domestic. She is about
twenty-five years of age.
Utility Man.
Wo have often heard of the “utility
man” in a theatrical combination, bnt wo
never thoroughly understood what he was
until wo read tho following paragraph
from tho Columbus Sun’s notico of tlio
performance of Macbeth in that city:
Milues JjOvick won frequent applause
by his personation of Macbeth. The
character of Banquo and Macduff by the
same actor were well sustained, and the
entire play handsomely performed.
This was an exhibition of skill which
Mr. Lcvic-k foiled entirely to display in
this city. In show parlance ho would be
an "immense card,” if ho were liberally
advertised to appear in three important
parts of the same play, two of which must
necessarily be on tho stago simultaneous
ly. For instance we would bo greatly de
lighted to seo Mr. Lovick arise in tho
form of JJanijito's ghost at the tabic, and
at tho same tirno stand aside, shivering
with Macbeth's ghastly fright and say
t ny nory iocks ni me."
Then, again, in the last scene, it would
bo grand to see him manifest his duality
of person in tho fencing scene between
“Macbeth and Macduff. Wo confess that
wo are so utterly unable to see how ho
could accomplish tho feat, that wc must
beg our brother DoVotic to lmmor our
incredulity until we havo oecular demon-
t ration of ttis wonderful trait of Mr.
Loviek’s ability.
.THE MIMKI ROSE.
Trial nf No. 2’s Sciv steamer.
Notwithstanding the day was an un
favorable ono, tho now steamer, lately
brought out for Ocmulgee Fire Company
No. 2, was brought ont for a test in the
presence of almost tho entire company,
and a considerable number of spectators.
T!M steamer, as has been previously
stated, was built by Messrs. Harrell A
Hays, of Paterson, New Jersey. It is tho
samo sizo as the steamer lately purchased
by Mechanics, Np. 4, and differs from it
only in its style of finish and having
heavier whools. The machine, loaded for
service, weighs a little over four thou
sand pounds. It is arranged to ho drawn
cither by hand or horse power; but is
light enough to ho drawn easily by hand.
In point of finish tho ’machine sur
passes anything we have ’ever seen. In
addition to tho usual ornamented parts,
which are exceedingly handsome, all tho
working parts are nickle plated, present
ing the appearance of being finely pol-
shed. . Every part is bright as a mirror,
including even tho axles, springs, pole and
cylinders. In fact tho whole machine is
bright ns a jewel and quite as handsome.
The company has made an excellent
selection of a name for the engine.
Simri Roso was identified, during his
ife time, with all the interests of Macon.
He was thoroughly public-spirited and to
his earnest advocacy and personal influ
ence Macon owes some of her principal
beauties. It is fitting that ono who has
so served the city, should Ire honored by
thoso who survivo him. A very handsome
picture of Mr. Rose is fixed in the front
of tho signal light.
Tho trial of the engine took place at
tho cistern on Mulberry street, in the
scnco of a Large number of spectators.
Tho report of the judges shows the fol
lowing result of the test:
5 lbs of steam obtained in G minutes.

Grand Jury Presentments.
Wc, tli- second panel of the Gran-1 Jury
for tho October term of Bibb Superior
Court, beg leave to make the following
general presentments:
Our predecessors, the first panel of iae
Grand Jury, have so thoroughly over
hauled county matters as to leave us com
paratively little to do.
1Ye liave examined through a commit
tee the condition and management of the
jail. The building being in every way
unworthy, we can only join in tae pre
vious recommendations of Grand Juries
in asking for a new building. But as to
management we are satisfied that it i3 as
well kept and is oa clean as such a build-
in" could possibly he, and there is no com
plaint from prisoners as to care and at
tention.
Our attention having been called to
abuses in the License Bureau, we have
given the matter a careful consideration
and we find that it only needs a little
system in the issuance of licenses to
bring to the county tho full revenue to
bo derived therefrom. "We, therefore,
recommend that the Ordinary in issuing
retail liquor licenses make them all ex
pire at the same time, say May 1st, and
notify, at that time, every retail dealer
in the county to renew their license un
der penalties of fine.
We have, through a competent com
mittee, examined carefully the books and
records of tho County Court, and we find
that each and every case tried lias been
properly noted as to the disposition of tho
same, but we find no correct system of
account of cash receipts and disburse
ment*. We therefore join tho first panel
in the recommendation that a cash book
be used in tho Court and the proper en
tries made therein.
At our request, Judgo John B. Weems,
of tho County Court, has made a report
of tho same sinco its organization, which
wo deem of importance enough to append
it to our general presentments and re
quest its publication.
We take pleasure in commending the
course of Hon. W. A. Huff, Mayor of the
city, in extending to tho County Coni '
the aid of tho police in tho arrest nnd
prosecution of vagrants. In view of tho
good which lias been accomplished, w
earnestly hope that tho Mayor will in
struct his police force to continue arrest
ing and prosecuting all vagrants, white
and black, to be found about tho city.
It being represented to tho Grand Jury
that it is dosirahlo to increase the civil
jurisdiction of the County Court, and in
other respects to amend tho act organiz
ing tho same, to that end we recommend
that a committee of the Macon bar bo
appointed to prepare and submit to the
Legislature, at its ensuing session, a suit
able bill for tho purposes indicated. We
suggest the names of Samuel Hall, James
T. Nisbct. R. W. Jemison, Col. L. N.
Whittle, and C. Anderson, Esqs., as that
committee.
We jpin the first panel in urging tho
repeal of laws, as far as Bibb county is
concerned, allowing tho Sheriff, Clerk of
the Superior Court, Ordinary and Jus
ticss of tho Peace extra compensation,
and that they bo not allowed any fees
other than those prescribed by tho stat
utes in each case.
Wo find that the county has been put
to great expenso in tho matter of insol
vent costs, and wc recommend to our
change in the Law, so that costs bo only
collected from the plaintiff and defendant,
and tho county not held responsible for
insolvents.
Wo recommend to. the County Commis
sioners the erection of a suitable shed in
the rear of the Court-house, for tho pur
pose of accommodating the citizens of the
county, with a place to protect their
horses aud vehicles from the weather.
We thank liis Honor, Judgo Barnard
Hill, ar.d his Honor Judgo Hersehcl V.
Johnson. al-:o Solicitor General C. J.
Harris, for attention shown this body,
and request tho usual publication of our
gcr.eial presentments, and of tho supple

Two streams were thrown 102 feet 0

The most attractive feature of the trial
lo the spectators was a vertical test.
This trial consisted in an attempt to
throw a stream as high as the vane
on the Court-house. The vane is over
ISO feet high, and it requires some ex
cellent work to elevate a stream that
high. Two hundred feet of hose were at
tached to the steamer, and the work
commenced. There were few among
the spectators who expected to see her
accomplish the feat she had un
dertaken. Heavier engines have

COMMUNICATION FnOJl JUDOE WEEMS.
Ucntletr.cn of the Grand Jury: In con
formity with your request, I tako pleas
ure in submitting to your body the fol
lowing statement of the operations of the
County Court sinco its organization on
the 1st of June last. Constant engage
ments in the Superior Court havo pre
vented a report as accurate and elaborate
as I would desire. The following, how
ever, though necessarily hastily pre
pared, is substantially correct:
The docket shows upon it 2S3 cases;
forty-three of which were old cases trans
mitted from the Superior Court. Upon
examination, I found that many of these
cases had been previously settled by the
former Solicitor General. In some of
these no arrests had been made,air can
be made; a few have been tried.
I have tried fourteen cases for com
mitment to the present term of tho Supe
rior Court,
Sinco the court has bcon in existence
abont seventy criminal cases have been
tried which resulted iu convictions;
thirty resulted in acquittals, nnd abont
fifty have boon dismissed or nolle prose-
quis entered for reasons generally stated
upon the docket. Among these are to
be found eases in which tho parties ac
cused of living together in a state of
adultery and fornication have intermar
ried, thereby suspending the judgments.
About thirty convicts have been sent
to the chain gang and six or eight to
prison.
There has besn paid into the Court
about $1,500 arising from fines; of this
amount $700 has been paid over to the
Comity, and the balance applied to the
payment of insolvent costs due to the
bailiffs of the Court. Only three cases
liave been tried by a jury since the or
ganization of the Court. About sixty
civil cases have been disposed of. There
has been but three appeals to the Superi
or Court, and so for no certiorari has been
sued out. I doubt not that the Court
will save the county more than the one-
half of the former tax on account of jail
fees; that the public roads in the county
will be worked without any charge upon
the county, and that the Court will pay
into the County Treasury, from fines and
forfeited recognizances, a much greater
sum than is allowed me as a salary.
Respectfully submitted,

Judge Bibb County Court.
